A major update was just release for my new game Kapital Punishment 22XX. Currently in early access the game is on sale for $3.34 cents until June 22nd. The update adds ACT I of story mode. [spoiler]It's the first of 3 Acts: Act I, Act II and Act III.[/spoiler]
Kapital Punishment 22XX tells the story of a humble miner, arrested trying to steal medicine for their dying community. The game begins when their sold to the highest bidder for human experimentation.
It takes place in the 23rd century when a vile conglomerate of oligarchs lord over the fractured territories of the Americas from a floating fortress-city known as KAPITAL. This de facto cartel-state maintains control over the populace with brutal cyborg thugs known as KAPITAL OPERATIVES (KOPs).
This fist act of story mode sees you escape the W.A.R.R.I.O.R brainwashing program. Now augmented with KAPITAL cybernetics you have to escape Homan Corrections. Homan is a private prison that auctions off it's inmates to defense contractors, media conglomerates hosting blood sports, and nefarious research companies like Terra Futurus.
Every level has secrets to discover as you recruit comrades and bash your way through waves of KOPs.
It's got puzzles...
...and sick boss fights!
If you're a fan of A Robot Named Fight [spoiler](especially if you're a fan of the lore ;-) )[/spoiler] you should check it out! It's only $3.34.

I have a new game in Early Access! It's called KOP KILLER 22XX. I'll give you three guesses what it's about! It's not subtle. Then again... I've been working on this new game for nearly two years now, co-developing it with my close friend Dr. Shameless Cat. It was strange to develop it alongside the far more accessible and wholesome C.A.R.L. My wife gave birth to our first child in that time. I'd let my kid play C.A.R.L.. I would not let them play KOP KILLER 22XX... yet. So aside from the obvious, what is KOP KILLER 22XX about? It's about a possible future. A hopeless, cyber-punk, hyper-capitalist future where violence is the only avenue of escape. A future where no state has a monopoly on violence, but violence is instead the domain of a cartel. A future where everything is owned, sold, or destroyed.
It's also about a transhumanist future. A future where the line between human-beings and machines has begun to blur. It's a game about crimes we cannot yet conceive of, as the technology to commit them does not yet exist.
And in that way, it's very much a companion piece to A Robot Named Fight!. If ARNF is a subtle game about fascism and the myth of the lone hero saving the day, KK22XX is an overt game about opposing fascism through collaboration and comradery. It's a game about the near future that would lead to the distant fantasy-nightmare of A Robot Named Fight!. Also like A Robot Named Fight!, KOP KILLER 22XX has a very silly, arguably bad, name. It's a name that has turned off quite a few streamers and public facing influencers. In sending out press key, we've gotten quite a few responses akin to "I agree with your point of view, but I don't want to invite drama to my channel." We expected that, but I am a bit surprised by the extent of it. Steam is home to all kinds of taboo games... games about sex, games about violence, games where you play as Nazis, and TONS of games where you kill police... games where you kill human police in modern day, not cyborg police in some far-flung dystopian future. Well shucks... some people are really scared by the name. We might have to change the name... We've had a lot of conversations about it.
But I digress. Long story short. We need your help to tell this story. If you're a fan of A Robot Named Fight! I think you'll really like this story. Right now the game is limited to a Roguelike Arcade Mode. You fight in procedurally generated arenas against hordes of cyborg cops. They swarm from all direction and have really cool AI. Like A Robot Named Fight, there are tons of cool power ups and stat boosts. You'll like it. But Story Mode is coming soon, and we need your support to make it happen! The game is $2.00 right now. Easy buy. Leave a review. Tell your friends on Reddit. Tell your friends on discord and on web forums.
Because KOP KILLER 22XX is ultimately a game about friendship. Now get out there and kill some KOPs! ...in the video game ...it's in the 23rd century, the KOPs are bad ...it stands for "Kapital Operative" ...they're not even real cops like in Grand Theft Auto https://store.steampowered.com/app/2217680/KOP_KILLER_22XX/

September 7 marks THREE YEARS since I first launched A Robot Named Fight! on Steam. Since then, the game has more than doubled in size and scope through the release of 20 FREE updates. Version 1.6.0.32 is the 21st update and has a lot to offer players, new and old. (It's affectionately known as the "Girthy Update" among the ARNF Discord community.) None of this would be possible without the continuing support of all ARNF players, especially my Discord community members and supporters on Patreon. It's extraordinary for a solo developer to be able to release free content for THREE YEARS, and I could not have accomplished this without your support. Now, on to the good stuff. What's in the latest update? New Unlockable Game Modes Three new game modes unlocked through achievements, each with their own NEW ending!

• Boss Rush - Face 14 Bosses and a NEW Final Boss while managing your resources, purchasing boosts and shrines and crafting weapons and allies.
  
• Exterminator - Clear the map of meat! Rooms lock down until cleared and the Avatar of Buluc Chabtan unlocks map regions as you collect items.
  
• Mega Map - Every environment in the game crammed into one extra large map!
  

New Items

• Sedative Cloud
• Twin Orb
• Hive Shell
• Bolt Helm
